(AllHipHop Features) For many Hip Hop followers, the new era battle rap scene has become the most authentic segment of the art form in the culture today. With millions of views on YouTube and committed fans attending battle leagues’ events around the world, the global appeal of battle rap cannot be denied.

Over the next several weeks AllHipHop.com will highlight some of the battle rap stars that helped elevate the sport to an international phenomenon. Up first is one of New York’s finest – Murda Mook.

Mook originally had his heart set on besting opponents on a NBA court, but during his time at Elms College in the early 2000’s, he switched his focus to beating rap foes at lyrical chess. The self-described “King of Battle Rap” is now one of the most recognizable figures in the game with numerous classic battles under his belt.

Fresh off his recent victory at Total Slaughter against fellow battle rap legend Loaded Lux, Murda Mook connected with AllHipHop.com for the initial installment of the “Profiles In Battle Rap” series.

“Remember A.I. crossed Mike out his sneakers?/It seemed so much worse cause we ain’t think Mike had a weakness/Off of that one move, A.I. got his fame/They forgot Jordan had 35 and still won the game!”
